So I just got this phone yesterday, I bought it used off of kijiji for $130 It is the LG Optimus 4G LTE P935, it was running stock ICS 4.04. I just finished the unbrick method and got it down to Gingerbread 2.3.6, and CWM installed! Now I am ready to install a ROM, which one is best. My other Phone is an HTC One X, running IceColdJelly 3.6 and it is fantastic fast and feature rich. Please advise.
Thanks in advance!
I'm looking for this same answers too. After read through on dev section and find Wind Kernel is the best one far. I need something stable for daily base using.

I recommend CM 10.1 stable and latest Wind Kernel.
if u want stability go with a stock based mod rom, there is a few nitrotnt, hono v20f bell, liquid nitro v20c, etc i use the hono one.

It depends on you what the best rom is. Stability, battery drain, modding etc. there are a lot varietys. I think ICS based roms have less battery drain but less modding posibilities like JellyBam or PAC rom. But the stability is not so well to this. And KronicSkillz is modding a lot ICS based roms. Its on you what you like.
I'm using cm10.1.2 with latest wind kernel . no problems so far . just try them all and see which one you like best .

i recently got a htc desire/bravo here in usa, and I'm wondering is there is a way to do flash to stock using Odin the same way i do with my Samsung vibrant.
Also want to know what is the latest official Rom release for this phone and what is the most stable Unofficial Rom?
Thanks in advance.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
I think Odin is for Samsung only (I use that for Galaxy Tab) but for Htc Desire, we run RUU (an .exe file) to flash to stock.
Not so sure the latest official Rom for as I'm always on custom Rom. There are plenty of them in Development section.
Yes odin is made for samsung mainly but works on some other phones, not sure which though.
The newest stock ROM is about 2.3.3 dependng on your carrier because obviously some are a bit late ( my carrier only gives me froyo ). The most stable rom ive used is cm7.1 never really get force closes and its still reasonably fast with me getting 1700 in quadrant a few months ago.

Most of the latest gingerbread builds are pretty stable. I used miui-au which was very stable. Also now that ICS roms for the desire have been developing for a while, these to are becoming pretty stable.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
If you want a stable gingerbread rom then the one from the HTC devs website works fine, but with all of the hype with ICS on the Desire i've found that Sandvold's rom has been great with constant updates and hopefully a fully stable release on the horizon.

I don't have any opinions on 1 or 2. As for 3, you do have some choices. A few of the options are, a leaked official AT&T ICS for the Nitro, nightly or RC2 for CM9, and now we even have an early preview of CM10 (Jelly Bean). Best thing to do is check out the Development sub-forum and see what you might like.
i came from a galaxy s vibrant recently to this phone.
to be honest, I was kind of disappointed at first with the battery life and lag, but that all went away once I rooted, flashed CM9 (the recent nightlies are faaaaaast) The battery life got better over time once I recalibrated it also, but now I went to the hyperion extended battery and battery life seems to be a lot better.
The HD screen is <3 When you look at a device without the HD display you'll be wondering why are the words so pixelated
I think I'm going to install CM10 preview soon too once I get my SD card.. 2gb is not enough. A CWM backup takes up almost 1 gig ._.
i was reading HO!NO! P930 UDT v18f 04112012-CWM-Flashable! thread. whats this unbricking people are talking about?

unbricking is this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1597488 It's the only way to flash stock firmware in case of trouble.
And where is the tread about CM10 you're speaking? I can't find, eager to flash preview

It's in the development thread. If you want stable, go with cm9 first. Then you can compare to CM10.

1. Coming from the Samsung Galaxy S, I love this phone! The HD screen is great and it has everything I want/need in my phone: LTE, performance, and hackability/dev support.
2. Like people have stated there are a few good ones. I'm currently running CM9 RC1 (planning to flash to HO!NO!'s Full throttle soon) and haven't had any problems so far. At first it was a little rough but after a few days it settled and it's been pretty smooth since, no issues. I tried flashing full throttle but had some issues installing it (it would bootloop). I would say Full Throttle would be a little more work to get working but from I've read once it's working it's fantastic. HO!NO! is putting a lot of work into it though and has frequent releases and improvements, and he usually incorporates the latest CM9 updates.
I haven't tried any others but I've heard the ICS leak runs very well and would probably make a good daily driver, just be prepared to unbrick your phone should you want a different ROM in the future. If you don't want to flash ROMs that often, I'd say go with a CM9 RC or the ICS leak. If you don't mind flashing ROMs then try out some of the other ROMs (Andasa's CM9 Hybrid, HO!NO!'s Full Throttle, CM9 Nightly, CM10) and see what you like.
3. I believe this has been answered
Hot damn! i just got the phone and im loving it! but im a total noob at this phone.
I need help pointing me in the right direction of rooting/installing cwm/Flashing a rom
Because i see nothing about root just a bunch of topics about failed root attemps.

It depends what firmware your device came with as some of them aren't rootable. For me I used SuperOneClick (v2.2 I think). You might need to attempt it a few times, (i think I had to disconnect and reconnect at one point as well to get it to finish).
You could also started out by following the unbricking guide to unbrick the phone (and follow the Easy CWM unbrick guide to make unbricking easier in the future). This would give you complete freedom to try any ROM (like the ICS leak with CWM) and from what I've read, fix some problems with the sdcard as well
p.s. Check the development section for rooting guides. I believe the v10j firmware is the rootable one.

The version we are talking about would be under baseband version in about phone (settings)
It should say P930 followed by something then V two numbers and a letter, this is your version.
P930-*********-V11a (for example. The V11a version here is the one I have and is root able)

i have sucessfully rooted my phone! im in the process of flashing cm9 now! this helped me out more than the other guide!!! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1784709
Ive had the XT907 Razr M VZW for about 6 months now. ICS came installed and JB officially came out a couple weeks after my purchuse. I have bricked and RSD this phone so many times Ive lost count. First three months of owning this phone I wanted to throw it off the tallest bridge I could find. Now with my phone unlocked and running SafeStrap v3.11 I am able to run Stock VZW 4.1.2 on my stock ROM with Energy ROM 3.14.13 build with VZW 4.1.1 running on my ROM Slot 2. Also im able to have the 4.1.1 camera work on Slot 2 while having the 4.1.2 camera in Stock ROM slot. Once I had both ROMs stable on SafeStrap I went ahead and flashed PacMan 4.2.2 over my Stock slot which was where I had the VZW 4.1.2 stock update running. Being able to now run two kernals through one recovery is bliss. Energy ROM to be is the best 4.1.1 rom out there hands down. Smooth flowing , heavy AOKP based rom that truely fixed my Wifi connection or lack of connection issues. And now I get to run PacMan 4.2.2 which is just straight gangster of a ROM. CM10.1 based ROM that takes the best of numerous ROM builds and apps, throw in crazy amount of customization, and you get pretty much Christmas morning joy of endless options. Long story short, finally got my Razr M to be the beast that I knew it always could be.
You flashed pacman over the stock rom and it work for you? What about flash pacman on ROM slot 1? Manage to get it to work?

I don't understand why you would want the energy over PAC... Not to be a jerk or anything. I would just like too understand what energy has that pac doesn't?
I had eclipse for a while. When the bl unlock showed up, well I pretty much crapped brix, I was so happy.
Then I bricked with PAC, restore with Matt's n such and settled again on PAC, and now I cant imagine life on 4.1.1 or 4.1.2, hence why I ask about the desire to keeps dual boot

If you go to those ROM's particular threads you will see that on energy you have to set up with safe strap, and with PAC you been unlocked boot loader and just do a straight flash( instructions included on page) I haven't done it, bit I imagine you flash PAC FIRST and then add the safe strap app and tool and "duel boot" energy after.
Good luck!!!!

Is 4.2.2 giving you radio issues? I tried Slim Bean and wifi and 4G/3G REALLY dropped, which hurt batt life.

As far as 4g/ 3g goes, I have heard that you have to set network to lte/CDMA/evdo instead of the standard lte/CDMA.
Concerning WiFi...I don't know :-/
I think it is slim that messed up your network though, because I had to restore to 4.1.2 and then reflash after I lost it all from slim

I just got a SCH I515 for my mother and it's currently running Cyanogenmod 10.2. This is going to be her first smartphone, but she's familiar with the stock ROM on my Note 2. So, I was looking for a stock rooted 4.2.2 ROM. I've tried searching for a stock rooted ROM without any luck. I really don't need a rooted ROM for her, but I'd really like to run Rom Toolbox and Titanium Backup.
So, does anyone have a link to a stock rooted ROM? If there's one that has all the bloatware removed like the Sophisticated ROM I ran on my Note 2 that'd be ideal.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated as I have no experience with the i515.
As far as I know there are no TouchWiz ROMs for the i535 at version 4.2.2 because it never official got the update (straight from 4.1.2 to 4.3.0). Are you looking specifically for TouchWiz ROMs or are AOSP acceptable too?

That looks like a good ROM. Is there a way I can use the Samsung TouchWiz keyboard on an AOSP ROM? I personally hated the kb in every AOSP ROM I tried on my Note 2.
I recently updated my N7105 to the recent 4.4.2 Nordic ROM ( n7105xxufnd3 )that was floating round that tripped my Knox, which I dont care about.
When i got sick of the updates abysmal battery life i flashed the latest stable release of CM for the GNII LTE a 4.3 based ROM with out issues.
But I'd like to know if i can revert back to my original ROM i.e. WanamLite MC3 V1.3, a TW 4.1.2 based ROM, for its spen support, battery life, atpx and boeffla sound support (im a big music listener) w/ Wanam's Adam Kernel.
Can i do this with out running into any issues, despite the gap between a 4.4.2 boot-loader (as I've been told i cant roll-back from this version) to a TW 4.1.2 ROM?
Thanks in advance guys

Based from what I remember, devs say that when you are with KK BL (ND3), you cannot flash a stock rom lower than it and the lowest custom rom that you can flash is 4.3.
Is there anyway i can flash an older bootloader? and/or is there a similar ROM to Wanam's that uses 4.3 as its base?
As awesome as CM is, there are touchwiz features specific to the note series that are hard to implement on CM/ASOP based ROMS :/

Do not try to install anything lower as it will break device. I'm sorry, I know nothing about wanam lite.
I have a unrooted note 2, manually installed 4.4.2 as 4.3 had major battery issues.
Things got worse for me in 4.4.2 nordic countries and I went and downloaded the offical roms from sammobile and am now back on 4.1.1 offical.

Wow, I thought once you are in a higher bootloader, you cannot install a lower one. No problems at all?
I'm sorry if I gave out wrong info, that was how I knew it was.
I have no issues at all.
Apart from missing out on features from 4.1.2 and above everything works as if I didnt update the device at all.
I would not do a restore from higher up android versions but if you start feom scratch its all good.
And I can say my zero lemon battery is working at it should be, I now have days worth of battery life.
I'm getting invalid kernel/ ramdisk size error on bootloader screen. This is the first time I got this error while entering recovery screen. I'm don't know much about this. Please help.

Sorry champ but this threqd is for a galaxy note 2 specifically a gt7105 and has installed a samsung stock rom, I have done this and have gone back to 4.1.1 but seeing as you have a rooted romed moto x it is out of my league.
I dare say this process is incompatible with the moto x and seeing as you can get into recovery or cwm or what ever its called you can still flash a rom with the relavent bootloader that was previous to your dilemma
